Wedding catering can be one of the most rewarding experiences for folks in the hospitality business: few life experiences bring more people together to celebrate love and joy. The pressures can also be intense. As seasoned as a kitchen and front house staff may be, and completely confident in their ability to deliver fabulous food and service under the most rustic and challenging circumstances - there's one thing that none of us can control - and that's THE WEATHER!

This summer was truly magnificent here in the Hudson Valley (as opposed to last year's rainy summer). Almost every Saturday provided glorious sun and weather that would bring tears of joy to the eyes of those who have been planning their wedding for many moons. So happily, most of my pictures of our food are bathed in sunlight.

Today's offerings are from a July wedding which featured a large antipasti station with passed appetizers and shots of our team plating one of our favorite salads: the Medi Salad - our version of Greek salad that's topped with our crispy feta cheese.
